Although unemployment initial filings have decreased, unemployment is now up to 9.4% (a 26 year high). The stock market rally has continued over the past month and crude oil has reached $70 per barrel and continues to climb.

At this point, I'm trying to focus on enjoying the modest stock market rally that has occurred over the past few months and hope that the recession will end soon. I'm not sure how that will happen if crude oil prices and 30 year fixed mortgage rates continue to rise (Penfed went from 5% to 5.625% since the last update), but it can't hurt to be optimistic, right?

Free Gillette Fusion Razor at CVS Pharmacy this week

CVS has the Gillette Fusion razor on sale for $7.99 this week. They are also offering a $4 Extra Bucks bonus with purchase (prints out immediately after purchase), bringing the cost down to $3.99. This price combined with the $4 off any Gillette Fusion Manual or Power Razor coupon from the 6/7 Proctor & Gamble coupon booklet will make this razor free.

Free Coldplay live album

Today is also the day of the band's first North American tour date, in West Palm Beach, where the first copies of the LRLRL CD will be given away.

The CD will then be handed out to all fans at every remaining Coldplay live show in 2009 (apart from Festival shows). The free download will also be available from Coldplay.com until the band play their final 2009 show.
